A little about the new Panama Don Pepe..

12oz Producer: Antonio Vasquez Location: Volcancito in Boquete, Panama Altitude: 1500-1800 masl Varietal: Typica The farm is owned and managed by Antonio “Tony” Vasques and is located in the micro-region of Volcancito in the Boquete valley in the Chiriqui region of Panama. After picking, skin and mucilage is removed using Penagos machinery before the coffee is dried. First part of the drying happens at cement patios and finished using raised beds with a mesh bottom - allowing air to circulate freely around the coffee. The coffee is of the Typica variety - one of the main cultivars of Coffea Arabica, whom many other varieties have derived from. The yield is pretty low, but the cup quality rewarding. Floral aroma and round texture, with flavours of vanilla, concord grape, and jammy berries.
